Fake Howcroft: Vote for me

I follow the supposed Lindsay Lohan on twitter – she’s a real hoot http://twitter.com/LindsayInJail
Jeez, I hope those weren’t the highlights. Do people still create fake twitter personas? Already as old as spouting Monty Python sketches word for word. This Howcroft one is particularly lame. I wonder why they bothered?
Wait, I know. It’s run by Amnesia to promote their social election tool.
So terrible and so unfunny. And the point of it is…? Completely unsuccessful if it was to promote something.
